Sink, Florida, Sink

Listen, Floridians aren’t offended by all the jokes made at our expense. We get it.

Florida — with south Florida breeding its own special kind of crazy — is an insane place and one rife with contradictions. It’s beautiful and hideous, wonderful and awful, hot and … well actually it’s always just hot. And while the country-at-large continues to be amazed and loves to laugh at each day’s new #Floridaman story, we just kind of shrug our shoulders. Yes, of course it’s crazy, but it’s also strangely banal at this point.

And what about when further news comes out that a high-ranking official in the state government was suspended and ordered to get a mental examination because he wouldn’t go along with this dumb policy — does not even that stagger us? Nah.

If you’ve lived in Florida long enough, you sort of just need to laugh to keep from crying when you hear things like this. Throw up the Bugs-Bunny-sawing-Florida-off-from-the-U.S. gif and move on with your day.
